Product description

Richard Pinhas' "Iceland," released in 1979, is a pioneering work that marks his third solo album and his first venture following the breakup of the influential krautrock band Heldon. Recorded at the Heldon Electronic Studio and Ramsès Studio in Paris, this album is a testament to Pinhas' innovative approach to blending electronics and guitar, creating a soundscape that is both experimental and immersive.

With a runtime of just 36 minutes, "Iceland" is a concise yet powerful exploration of krautrock and space rock genres. The album's seven tracks, including the multi-part "Iceland" and "The Last Kings of Thule," showcase Pinhas' mastery of creating atmospheric, textured soundscapes that are as hypnotic as they are complex. The minimalist approach to composition allows the listener to delve deep into the layers of sound, making it a captivating experience from start to finish.

Originally released on the Bureau B label, "Iceland" has stood the test of time, remaining a significant work in the realm of experimental music. Whether you're a longtime fan of Richard Pinhas or a newcomer to his work, this album offers a unique and engaging listening experience that highlights the artist's visionary approach to music.

This is a 2022 Reissue released as a LP.

Truly fantastic remaster and vinyl release. The audio is crisp and clear, with no surface noise. Highly recommended.
Perfect Vinyl Reissue

Just as many have mentioned, this reissue is absolutely perfect. The vinyl is pristine and plays back without any hisses or noise. I already have the 1992 CD version, which includes the same extra track, but it's great to have this on vinyl now. The packaging, even though it's a gatefold, is as cold (intentional word choice) and simple as the music itself.
